I need some books paywalled behind Oxford Politics Trove and they aren’t on Anna’s lib, Zlib, Libgen, Memory of the World, Aaarg, or the Internet Archive. Not sure to whom else to turn to. I hate that knowledge like this is paywalled, and I highly doubt the authors will be paid if I pay the highway robbery of a price.
Have you tried emailing the authors? It’s well known that some folks will gladly respond with a copy of the paper at no charge.
IIRC: The Oxford Politics Trove is more text books than academic papers.
That’s not usually an option for books. Articles, maybe, but I need textbooks.
Welp, I totally misunderstood the question then. Sorry.
What we did in the situation was buy one book and then everyone photocopied it and split the cost
That works quite well in my country, where book piracy isn’t as policed, but that’s not an option for me because I can’t access or buy a physical copy.

Checked there several times already.
OceanOfPDF?
Thanks for the lead, but they don’t have it.

We are slaves
Sci-Hub should still be around, I guess…
@mambabasa What are the names of the books?
Both are on Oxford Politics Trove. Would you happen to have institutional access?
-
Issues in Political Theory (4th edn, 2019)
-
Rethinking political thinkers (1st edn, 2023)
Yes, I’m aware Issues has pirated versions of earlier editions available, I have those already. I’m hoping for the latest version.
Neither are in MAM (private tracker for books). Sorry.
